Police in Thika
netted 7 sacks of bhang worth about a million shillings on Monday night after they
intercepted a car that was delivering the drug to unknown drug barons in the
sprawling Kiandutu slums.

Confirming the
incident, Thika West OCPD Paul Kiriki said the police, who were acting on a tip
off from members of public, waylaid the supplier as he dropped his cargo.

“My officers spotted
a probox offloading some luggage and they approached to check what was
transpiring, the driver of the car sensed danger and sped off, leaving behind
the 7 bags that had already been offloaded,” said the OCPD.

Kiriki added that
the officers were unable to identify the car’s number plate nor the intended
recipient but warned that the police were on their trail.

He added that over
the last two months, they have been able to arrest very many drug peddlers in
Thika even though majority of them were the small peddlers.

“I would like to
warn them that their days are numbered and very soon we are going to apprehend
even those who have been supplying these drugs,” he said.

He appealed to
members of public to keep vigil and always tip the police whenever they noticed
any suspicious activities within their areas of residence.
